   once a hen has grown past the age for egg laying
   is it okay for one to cull this hen for food?
   
   I do not have the chickens yet
   but with this small property I do not suppose I would be able
   to keep hens and have no eggs coming out
   
   the yard would soon get veeeery crowded haha

   that hen would be very tough to eat ...
   
   HOWEVER...you may be able to pressure cook it...
   OR make chicken stock with it...

   I would use a slow cooker to tender her up.
